News December 2011
Yep it's time for a little TCRM News or as the team call it "Kevin's strange view of the world".
I tend to write these little epilogues listening to music programmes on BBC Four, not sure why but it usually covers all sorts of great music but today it's top of the pops 1977. It seems in 1977 we were listening to a strange combination of music, punk was at its peak so loads of Sex Pistols, Boomtown Rats and The Stranglers, but also disco (will my platforms pass our health and safety policy?). Punk was deemed to be revolutionary in the music world and a thought occurred - having worked with technology for quite a few years I have seen many "revolutions" and the term really annoys me, I suppose it's the fact that all technology "revolutions" are just a little bit better than their predecessor and at some point they become useful.
However good IPads, Smartphones or the latest gismos are (we have just bought an IDE / Sata2 USB 2.0 convertor which is really useful) they are just the result of years of development and a need. I owned an early mp3 player which was almost impossible to use but my HTC Sensation S uses the same principle just better software so where is the revolution, the Ipod perhaps, or was it Itunes. Ok, they are all clever but can anything in this genre ever be described as being revolutionary, IMHO, I think not.
Did you know the road to the Ipad is scattered with abysmal failures, take a look at the
history of the tablet since Captain Kirk was using one on the enterprise.
So, what's the point, well, TCRM web sites of course. They may not be revolutionary, but they are the result of years of development work and lessons learnt and we ensure your sites benefit from everything we have discovered over the past few years.
On a lighter note we had a great TCRM Christmas party in the Ashoka, and if you have never tried the
finest Indian Restaurant in the Bridgend area you really should (they have got a great web site as well), mention TCRM and I am sure you will get premier treatment (everyone does anyway but say we sent you and we might end up with a free jalfrezi). We also had a week off, well nearly, I kept the ship afloat while the rest of the team ate turkey, satsumas, chocolate etc.
Have a great month.
